- Description
- The Houyhnhnms are a breed of horses. The Houyhnhnms created their own society and Gulliver believes them to be a superior society that is more virtuous than any other society Gulliver encountered. Gulliver’s first encounter with a Houyhnhnm was when it scared off a yahoo who was tormenting Gulliver. The Houyhnhnm was not violent. It looked startled at the sight of Gulliver but did not attack him. In the background of this image we see a group of yahoos running away. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
